4/20/23: Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has announced this year’s Superjam will be led by funk guitarist extraordinaire Cory Wong. Set to take place on Saturday, June 17th, Cory Wong’s Syncopated Superjam will feature the Vulfpeck guitarist’s 12-piece band and “many surprise all-star guests.”
“This is going to be an incredible set of music with special guests who are at the festival, and also a handful who are flying in specifically for the Superjam,” Wong said. “There are guests from across all genres that will come together on stage for a really special once-in-a-lifetime performance. I’ve held a few tricks up my sleeve over the past few years, and I’m happy that they get to come out in full force for this Superjam. The song list is already shaping up to be insane. My full 12-piece band will be there along with me and we’re working out new arrangements for all of the material that night.”

Steve Greene, talent buyer for C3 Presents added, “The Superjam is one of Bonnaroo’s most sacred traditions. Cory Wong is one of the most impressive musicians out there today and we’re honored to have him make his mark on Bonnaroo history. We’re especially looking forward to reaching back to Bonnaroo’s funky roots and injecting a bit more jam into the Superjam.”
